question on OpsCenter DB defrag

We're doing a defrag of OpsCenter (8.0--windows box) this coming Monday. I've already worked with Veritas on memory, etc, but have a couple questions since this will be the first time my team will be handling this. (The previous team last handled it three years ago--we weren't aware of the necessity of a defrag until just recently). My questions--if necessary can the defrag be stopped, and what are the consequences?  Also, what are some possible issues that we could expect if the defrag goes bad?

    The defrag wass over in a relatively short period of time, so we didn't have any problems. Thanks.

    DoubleP you should try to defrag your OpsCenter DB once a month.

    How large is your OpsCenter DB?

    I would not suggest stopping/canceling/aborting the DB defrag but if you are concerned about system perfomance during the defrag, I would check a few things before running the defrag. Can you copy the contents of your server.conf file located at the install path\Symantec\OpsCenter\server\db\conf\server.conf

    Also, always make a backup of a your OpsCenter DB before doing any kind of work on it. This way, you can revert back to the backup if you have any issues.
